Is anonymous posting inherently flawed? With a large enough audience, will it inevitably be destroyed by vocal shitposters which tend to emulate each-other? Lastly, did anime subculture have a negative impact overall on 4chan?

Trump.

That happens all over the internet though, even in real-name places.
If anonymous posting has a flaw related to speech without consequences then persistent-identity posting is flawed for its chilling effect on frank discussion. So at best we can say all communication is flawed, which is ultimately not saying much at all.

Absolutely. Hopefully 2016 will see the end of weebdom.

Why are you using wikipedia as a source and what is you point here? That /a/ was one of the first boards?

Anonymous posting would be better if everyone had an account, but only (Fair, well-paid) mods could see that.
As for your second point, my answer would be a no.

>Is anonymous posting inherently flawed?
Possibly, but no more so than other models. They all have advantages and disadvantages.
>With a large enough audience, will it inevitably be destroyed by vocal shitposters which tend to emulate each-other?
Only in the absence of systems to control quality. Strong moderation (or other things) can limit the amount of shitposting back to a low level.
>Lastly, did anime subculture have a negative impact overall on 4chan?
The anime subculture was foundational to 4chan's culture. Asking if it had a negitive impact is meaningless, because without it 4chan would be incompatibly different.
That's not to say I like the anime subculture, or that it's the whole of 4chan's culture (especially now).
I prefer anonymous posting. With accounts I can't tell someone I disagree with that they have shit taste and I hope they slip on glass and remove themselves from the gene pool.

flawed? It's superior.
>With a large enough audience, will it inevitably be destroyed by vocal shitposters which tend to emulate each-other?
Yes but this is true moreso in a non-anonymous internet setting than it is in an anonymous one.
>Lastly, did anime subculture have a negative impact overall on 4chan?
I don't like anime but I think that's subjective. Negative for whom?
